KDS17 Superba Bait & Switch

[sarahperdue]

Just need to lament for a moment. We have a 20-25 year old BOL contractor grade GE dishwasher. It doesn't clean worth a damn, and the racks are rusting out. I had a beautiful Hobart KA Superba in the basement that I had been longing to install for years. My sons and I finally convinced my husband that we needed a new dish washer (at least I thought we had). He insisted that we get a new one and wouldn't even consider installing the Superba to see how it performed. So, I finally caved and donated the Superba to the ReStore with the promise that we would buy a new dishwasher. The Superba had been gone less than a week when I mentioned the new dishwasher to my husband. He gave me this blank look, "dishwasher? The one we have works perfectly fine..."

Do you have any cast iron frying pans handy?

 

[sarahperdue]

Yes, but

I'd hate to break a good skillet.

This needs hard measurements. Only one solution, a cold shoulder in the bedroom...

I agree Louis,

No dishwasher, no lovin. Or better yet leave the damn dishes in the sink and let Mr. Tightwad do them. Then he can see how "perfectly fine" it works.
Also when you do finally get him to cave in make sure to go for a KitchenAid with Cleanwash or a Point Voyager Maytag.

Be sure to keep documentation for use at your divorce hearing, or murder trial.

In both cases you will be justified.

You and your sons should have simply replaced the GE with the KA and not said anything.  Go back to the restore and see if it's still there....

Feed him dinner on paper plates.

Paper Plates ?

Better yet serve dinner on several layers of old newspaper

 

[ilovewindex]

Go buy the new one and have it delivered and put in a place where he will fall over it or be in his way... My parents did this over a microwave

 

[iheartmaytag]

Naw

Do one better.  Don't tell him, just go buy a new dishwasher, have it delivered and installed.  Then see how long it takes him to notice. 

 

I'm betting he will never know, well unless he looks at the checkbook.

 

 

[ken]

Like Matt said go back to the restore. Bet its still there.

 

[dermacie]

Divorce him

 

[daveamkrayoguy]

Get over to that ReStore & see if you can buy the K-A back! Maybe even an amateur install by yourself +/- kids can get 'er hoppin' or find someone to put 'er in...

 

Otherwise, go Bosche!

If I'm on your jury, I will vote for acquittal.
